Retractable Screen Doors

Most Americans use their patios throughout the summer season and sometimes even through both spring and fall. They use them not only for entertainment purposes but many people do what they can to conserve energy and open their patio doors to help air out their homes and cut back on energy costs. With retractable screen doors you can enjoy your patio while protecting the interior of your home from insects and vermin. There are many benefits including cost, convenience and styles available. Some of the styles that are available include electric open and close, variations in screen types and sizes.

When not in use they are easily rolled up inside a tube and are hid behind the frame of the main door. This makes them appealing for the interior as well as the exterior of your home. Some features even protect your home from the harmful rays of the sun to prevent fading of furniture. You can purchase them in a light screen, bug screen or blackening screen type. You will also want to make sure you choose patio retractable screens that are weatherproof. Some are designed for use only when the weather is good. This means their internal mechanisms could be damaged by rain or even wind.

The installation of a retractable screen door can be the most critical part of making sure it operates smoothly for several years. Some companies have small operations in which the owner installs all the screen doors and other companies have many different installers. Make sure that the installer has many years experience and has been trained by the manufacturer. It is also important for the screen door company to have a valid contractor's license depending on if your state requires it by law. A contractor's license usually shows that the company is serious about staying in business for a number of years and it is protection for the consumer.
